The 1st in the "The Cat Who..." series (A Jim Qwilleran Feline Whodunnit)

"A stabbing in an art gallery, vandalised paintings, a fatal fall - this is not what Jim Qwilleran expects when he turns his reportorial talents to art. But with his partner, Koko the Siamese cat, he sniffs out clues and confounds criminals intent on mayhem and murder."
(amazon.co.uk)

This book arrived from Amazon this week and before even its owner set her eyes on it, I took the chance to read it. I couldn't resist as it seemed such a cute book!
But now I'm in trouble, this series already has 28 published books, hopefully they'll all be as short as this one. And yes, I'll want to read them all!
I never had a cat but most of my friends are cat lovers and I've heard millions of stories about them, so I was able to recognize some of Koko's attitudes. And I think most cat lovers will really like this series! This is a cozy mystery, the story doesn't focus on the murders but on the way that Qwilleran solves them with the help of Koko, and believe me his help is essential! ;o)
I can't wait to read the next one, it's already on my Wish List!

This is really a new one for me: Virgulina received the book and read it before I set my eyes on it! I just registed it!! ;op

Let's see if I've the same opinion as she, as I'm starting it right away...

Done! This was an easy and quick read, during a plane trip to Barcelona, at lunch times and all alone in my hotel room... :)
It was my first "cozy mystery" and now I understand the concept, there's no gory details about the murders, no autopsies or information about medical tests and stuff like that. It's more about the persons, how Qwilleran (and Koko, of course!) discover the truth. I liked Qwilleran a lot - except for that infatuation with Zoe, arghh - and *loved* Koko, there's so much things I recognize in my own cat. Unfortunately, mine can't read, backwards or otherwise ;o)
I was expecting that the "bad guy" was someone more important in the story, but anyway, now I'm doomed as I've another 28 books to read!
